Jennifer Hawkins
Atlas Type-3 Hoyoki
After we were able to defeat the Sea Monster, the Hoyoki has taken serious damage, and I'm not sure what to do after all those months of training waiting to prepare for the monster to arrive and wreak havoc once more. Now that we've averted another catastrophe, the crew have engaged the thrusters have now orbited across the earth, although the left arm was severed off. However, I say to myself that this may be the beginning of a new era, and the rise of something that lurked down the depths of Southern Germany for too long.
Once we arrived at low orbit, I opened my comms radio, and waited for a clear signal from Mount Shasta in California.
"This is Lieutenant Hawkins transmitting from the Hoyoki," I said, "how do you copy, over?"
"This is Albatross;" he said, "read you loud and clear, Lieutenant."
"How's San Fran looking?"
"Not good. Much of the Bay Area's been destroyed thanks to the two of you."
"What else can I say? Sometimes, we can't reverse things back to the way they were. It's how life works. Sometimes, you've gotta make choices that means life or death. Hydraulics have taken heavy damage, but the thrusters are still online, albeit severely damaged."
"Where are you and your crew heading to?"
"Parts unknown, we may head for the moon waiting for our lives to end or orbit across the earth or something. However, all I can say is that we've disturbed something that was hidden for too long, and it may pose a threat to the earth; immediate action may be needed to analyze the energy from the Six-Sided Event happening 37 years ago in Germany, for which Morrison had said in his book that two organizations have long been battling over the energy that emanated from the cube. Not only that, but the explosion may be stronger than the one seen."
"Anything for the people that you have to say for the people down below? Cause you're on live tv right now."
"All of you better prepare for the future, because we're about to enter a new age, and we may potentially enter into a state of war with two organizations that have spanned from the end of the Cold War, and the sins that we have humans have created with the AP2 chemical warhead and the killing of civilians. Know that the showdown that just happened may the beginning of the end for mankind."
After turning off my radio, all we could do was watch the earth slowly fade away from us, and watch the celestial body to our own amazement, but we later spotted the same carrier that was on the earth a few weeks back. Knowing that the Hoyoki was running out of oxygen and fuel, we decided to land on the craft, no matter if we were captured or not. All we could do is stay together with my crew for one last time, and remember all of the events that had happened over the course of 2 months together…
